At the moment I'm currently researching into his work as part of my degree in interactive design.
Ive been aware of Arts' work for quite some time as he is very similar in ways to one of my favourite illustrators and designers, Frank Kozik. From my early teens I've always been interested in the much darker side of these kinds of style, where there's strong American influences from the 30's to 50's and big bold statement prints.
I like the mixture of sweet and sinister, as we can see here. Also one thing that really grabs me is the informative side of his work and posters, lots of writing or big slogans such as the "I take one everywhere I take my penis" poster for condoms. I think he you can see some of Arts earlier influences such as designer Lester Beall.
My plan then is to learn more about Arts' work and world. I'm researching his images, but also his interviews, any extra info, and definately some stuff about his inspirations. If anyone one has anything to share please get in touch. Also I shall be working with aspects of Arts work for insiration and posting them, so if anybody else has any contributions, they would be well recieved. Cheers Guys.
